Purist Entry - Iron Angels Machine Whisperers
The Iron Angels are a chapter that takes pride in its craftsmanship allowing them to manufacture their own arsenal without the help of outside benefactors. The chapter's self-sufficiency is owed in no small part to the expertise of the Machine Whisperers, battle-hardened veterans and well respected mechanics, whose task is to expand and maintain the chapter's armoury. Their sign of office is a mighty power tool that doubles as a weapon in close combat. Additionally, Machine Whisperers can sport powerful servo arms to aid them in removing debris in their path or recovering heavier gear.


At other times, they can replace one of the servo arms with an ancient fusion blaster, reducing most matter to a pile of ash.


Another important task of the Machine Whisperers consists of salvaging new technology for the chapter to be reused for even more powerful weaponry.


Purist Entry - Iron Angels Archivist
Less technically inclined members of the chapter can find purpose within the chapter archives, where they gather and maintain blueprints for various weapons and machinery, as well as extensive records of the chapter's history. Do not underestimate the Archivists' combat skills however, as they enjoyed their fair share of combat experience, just like any other Iron Angel.


Archivists also gain access to more esoteric war gear, such as the Doom Scroll, a tome of dubious origin that can obliterate the minds of anyone trying to grasp its cursed knowledge. This weapon is only being unearthed in times of dire need and its use must be approved by a chaplain or the Chapter Master himself. Even then, only a high ranking Archivist may field this cursed weapon for only they are overworked enough have the mental fortitude to resist its vile temptations.

Diva Entry - Rzeźnik, Flesh Mender of the Iron Angels
"Hypocritical Oath? Never heard of it!"

If you're an Iron Angel getting severely wounded in combat, pray to the Great Creator that you don't end up under Rzeźnik's knife. While machine whisperers are ridiculed for their obsession with technology, this surgeon is outright dreaded by his compatriots for his lack of ethics and appearing to take pleasure in replacing somewhat salvageable organic limbs with cybernetic prosthetics. Rzeźnik himself has barely any flesh or organs left, as he considered them superfluous and too weak to withstand the heat of battle. His personal arsenal ranges from a variety of custom-made surgical utensils and an array of combat narcotics such as Maniac Calpis, a substance of unknown origin that is white as cu- *gets pulled over by a Vaudeville hook*

the little salvage scene gets a point though that is fun.

feels really lacking compared to your other writing. also basing his character around the jump jet and then not showing the jump jets from the back makes me sad
